Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup hemp seeds or hemp hearts use ¾ cup for higher protein
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 pinch sea salt optional

Optional Sweeteners

  • 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup, brown rice syrup, simple syrup or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sugar-free honey, maple, simple syrup or to taste

Optional Flavors

  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla paste or to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for chocolate) or to taste
  • 2-3 fresh or frozen strawberries (for strawberry) or to taste
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon or other warm spices or to taste

Instructions

  • Unlike other nuts and seeds, hemp seeds have no phytic acid, so no soaking required. Just add the seeds to your blender with the water and blend until smooth, about 45-60 seconds.
    Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container and enjoy.
  • If making flavored hemp milk, blend the milk first, taste, then add any flavors and blend briefly again. Taste and adjust flavors to your preference.
